Breaking the "Hardware Tax": Eventus Joins Startup Tokyo and Launches Software-Defined Gateway​

The End of the "Hardware Tax"​

For years, the biggest barrier to IoT and Digital Transformation (DX) has been the "Hardware Tax." To monitor a single patient or room, organizations previously had to purchase expensive dedicated gateways, hire electricians for installation, and deal with complex wiring.

That ends today.

With the launch of our Software-Defined Gateway, any existing smartphone, tablet, or PC (iOS, Android, macOS, Windows) can now be transformed into a medical-grade IoT hub.

  • Zero CAPEX: No new hardware to buy.
  • Zero Installation: No drilling holes or wiring. Just download the app.
  • Instant Scaling: Deploy a monitoring network across an entire facility or country in minutes.

A Hybrid Approach for Real-World Needs​

While we are excited about the software revolution, we know that mission-critical environments like hospital wards still require permanent infrastructure. That is why Eventus continues to support a Hybrid Strategy. Whether you need the portability of our new app-based gateway or the 24/7 reliability of traditional hardware (like Cassia hubs), Eventus provides the "Universal Data Glue" to bring all your data into one AI-ready stream.

Meet Us at Startup JAPAN EXPO 2026​

We are also proud to announce that Eventus will be exhibiting at Startup JAPAN EXPO 2026 in Tokyo!

  • When: April 15-16, 2026
  • Where: Our dedicated booth in the Startup Tokyo pavilion. Come visit our Managing Director, James Yip, and the rest of the team to see a live demo of the Software-Defined Gateway in action. We will be showcasing how we integrate high-precision clinical data from Quanta sensors and environmental data into a single, unified platform.

Join the Revolution​

Whether you are in healthcare, elderly care, or smart city development, the barrier to entry has never been lower. We invite you to read our official announcement and reach out to us to see how we can accelerate your DX journey.
